Animal Classifier by Shinseungback Kimyonghun:

The taxonomy is from the essay ‘The Analytical Language of John Wilkins’ by Jorge Luis Borges where he discusses arbitrarities of John Wilkins and writes “it is clear that there is no classification of the Universe not being arbitrary and full of conjectures. The reason for this is very simple: we do not know what thing the universe is.” It is referred as another example of faulty human schemes. 

Most of the current AI systems are basically classifiers, and they learn and work based on the classifications provided by humans, thus inevitably imperfect.
